Rosemary Laing
Flight
October 26, 2007–January 27, 2008

Australian artist Rosemary Laing combines photography, performance, and cinema in her carefully composed and highly evocative color photographs. This exhibition will include approximately twelve images demonstrating her transformation of the notion of flight from a

positive emblem of progress and opportunity to a negative indicator of turbulence, destruction, and loss of control. The selections will be drawn from three series: flight research, bulletproofglass, and Laing’s most current body of work, weather.

Organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
